HCA: Hermit Crab Association

Is it good to feed it to them once in a while like going on vacation I know its bad but everything else easily spoils

Most of what you can buy in stores marketed for hermit crabs is bad, has chemicals that are toxic. So, no, not even once in a while. If you want dry food, go to the Hermit Crab Patch or the Hermit Crab Addiction Store for safe foods.

"If you want dry food, go to the Hermit Crab Patch or the Hermit Crab Addiction Store for safe foods."Yes they have a good variety and selection most of the time. Also you can get freeze dried fruits, veggies, bugs, worms, shrimp ect.. from he pet store (or from them).

This fall go out side to a safe non pesticides area and gather tons of maple leaves that ate super dried out. I look them over to make sure they are not bug infested. Then take them and soak them in their water and rinse in their water , I stick them in a box and set by the heat vent to dry. Then if we have to be gone I use lots of dead leaves, I also do this to maple bark, I boil it dry it then I grate it up into a powder. I always keep the little bone in there to. I try to leave things that I know won't mold in 2 days
